Description
A delicious and flavorful grilled chicken recipe that’s perfect for summer barbecues.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp. garlic puree (also called ground garlic)
- 1 T rice vinegar
- 2 T fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp. grated ginger root or ginger puree from a jar
- 1/2 tsp. ground Chipotle Chile Powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional, but very good on this)
Instructions
- Trim all visible fat and undesirable parts from chicken breasts, trim breasts so they are the same thickness, and then cut small slits crosswise going down each breast.
- Put chicken in ziploc bag or plastic storage container with a snap-on lid and pour in marinade.
- Marinate 4-6 hours in the refrigerator, turning a few times if possible. (You can marinate longer, even all day if you’re at work.)
- When you’re ready to cook, spray the grill with non-stick spray or brush with high smoke point oil; then preheat grill to medium hot (you can only hold your hand there a few seconds.)
- This chicken could also be cooked in a stove-top grill pan with ridges or a George Foreman Grill with good results.
- Put chicken on grill top side down on the diagonal and cook about 4 minutes (or until you see grill marks when you lift up the edge).
- Rotate chicken pieces so they’re on the diagonal going the other way and cook about 4 minutes more (until you see criss-cross grill marks).
- Turn chicken over and cook about 4 minutes on the other side, or until chicken feels firm but not hard to the touch when you press on it with your fingers.
- You can also test the doneness with an Instant-Read Meat Thermometer. Chicken should be cooked to 165F/75C, but remember it will continue to cook a bit when you take it off the grill.
- Serve the Grilled Fusion Chicken hot, garnished with chopped cilantro if desired.
Notes
- Rice vinegar can be substituted with apple cider vinegar if needed.
- For a milder dish, reduce the amount of Chipotle Chile Powder.
